Yan research group has solved a longstanding scientific debate about the mechanism underlying the gamete and embryo transport within the Fallopian tube. Using a mouse model where the animals lacked ...

A new study creates a detailed 'atlas' of the various cell types and their gene activities within the highly specialized fallopian tube, paving the way for new research into infertility and other ...

The fallopian tubes—long, slender structures connecting the ovaries and the uterus—play an important role in women’s reproductive health. Their fringed ends collect the egg from the ovary, coaxing it ...

LOS ANGELES (May 24, 2021) -- Today, The Lundquist Institute announced that Wei Yan, MD, PhD, and his research group have solved a longstanding mystery and scientific debate about the mechanism ...

The fallopian tube is the site of fertilization, where once a month for the duration of a female's post-pubescent, pre-menopausal life, an egg is moved from the ovary, ready for fertilization by a ...

Unlike the normal Fallopian tube (left), the "cilia-less" Fallopian tube fails to pick up ovulated eggs, leading to female infertility (right). Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

Blocked fallopian tubes, or tubal occlusion, are one possible cause of infertility. There are usually no symptoms, but certain risk factors can increase the risk of developing the condition. The ...

In the reproductive system, the fallopian tubes are where fertilization takes place. It’s where the sperm meets the egg. From here, the fertilized zygote travels to the uterus, where it implants and ...

Removing fallopian tubes during sterilization is about as safe as sterilization procedures that damage the tubes but leave them intact, a new study suggests — a finding that could help reduce some ...
